Maximum header length
I am importing a large CSV (esxtop output). I set the truncate limit to 0 and was able to get the data in. However I am unable to get spliunk to parse the header. manually setting the FIELDs in Props didn't work, and when i let it automatically attempt i get the following
ERROR StructuredDataHeaderExtractor - Accumulated a line of 512256 bytes while reading a structured header, giving up parsing header
Is there a way to allow it to parse a larger header line?

Sorry, are you saying you have a csv with a half million byte header? That's...just not reasonable.

Hello!
I have exactly the same problem, TRUNCATE = 0 por the new csv-long source type, but the header is still too long:
04-21-2020 10:59:55.611 +0000 ERROR StructuredDataHeaderExtractor - Accumulated a line of 540672 bytes while reading a structured header, giving up parsing header
Such a long lines CSV are generated in my case by the esxtop tool by vmware.
Any clue?
Thanks!

Hi,
Did you try changing following setting in limits.conf:
[kv]
limit = 300
Refer following doc:
